It took me ages to find this one https://ww2.rspb.org.uk/community/wildlife/f/13609/t/110320.aspx?pi2132219858=2#838911 so thought I'd start a new one. I had a couple of newts larking around the moth trap towards the end of november, one of them had what looks like a woodlouse
& a green frog too from October
Anyone had any others recently?
Best wishes

Gosh that's a tiddler, I hope it didn't get walked on!
It was indeed extremely small Hazel, I can assure you it did not get walked on as we saw it hopping along till it got into the grassy area.
An update in that I came across a good sized Frog when I started to clean up Goldfish pond today ... very pleased, may even be the one that came into the lounge during that recent storm!

Even better news today in that I came across TWO Frogs/Froglets ... woo-hoo!
This one is often seen under the rim of the pond but sat very boldly as I took his pic ... starting to put some rocks & planting back round the pond to encourage insects for them to eat!
All I could see of this one was his head poking up but water clear enough to show all his stripey body
A froglet spotted at RSPB Conwy back in August...

Nice one Mike, I think it could be a toadlet though, looks warty!
I attracted some attention laying down to get this tiny toadlet at eye level as it crossed the path …
Those who stopped to see what I was up to were convinced it was a frog, but I think I'll stick with toad. It has apparently lost its rear right foot at some point in the past as the leg ends in a stump. Maybe there are witches in the area???

You can't be that bad, Jim, I remember you getting down on the ground when we were photographing butterflies on Helsington, with Hazy, back in June … mind you, that was grass :)
Great angle for capturing the Toadlet photo; I was told that most toads walk (but not always !) whereas frogs tend to jump lol
